About his first month on that island

[starkbastard]

Have you not been cruel enough, Lady Mun?

Not only you have sent me to a place where my vows mean little to a false Goddess, but you left me there to rot without none of my brothers and sisters. And still it was not enough for you, you had to scheme to have me take.....her as a wife.

[He shudders, can't really bring himself to say who, because really, it's been a nightmare and he doesn't want to think about it.  He's dishonoring his father's House enough as it is.]

I dare not think what this next month may let you plan for me.  But truly, what have I ever done to you so that you would hate me so?

[Alayne may look like his sister, but that's a subject that still riles up Jon and he frowns deeply]

My father was no traitor! He loved the king like a brother! [It's all a Lannister lie, it has to be, but news at the Wall don't often travel fast enough.]

You're of the Vale?

[He nods slowly]

I do. ['Every day, so that they take me away from that damned island' he thinks] But I am not sure they hear me where I am.

[His adamant reply makes her smile.] I know that to be true. I was in King's Landing with my father. He was King Baratheon's Coin.

[She shakes her head.] I am from wherever my father deems fit enough for us. He recently wedded Jon Arryn's widow.

I do not know how the gods think, how they operate, but for your sake, I hope they listen.

[And that alone is enough to make him feel ashame of his outburst. Jon bows his head lightly] I'm sorry, I should not have let my anger get the best of me.

[But he still dreams at night of shoving Longclaw deep into King Joffrey's throat.]

That would be Lady Stark's sister...[He muses. What else has he missed since he left for beyond the Wall?

He nods, strangely touch by her kindness]

Thank you, Alayne.

No need to apologize. Lord Stark was your father. I would say the same for mine

I am aware.

[She simply dips her head. It has been years since she's seen him. Even if that was Sansa's life and not hers.]
